Shadows

Sometimes I feel like I’m never alone

There I am standing in the center of 4 white walls

Millions of shapes start to dance in front of my very eyes.

My eyes do a split second blink and suddenly all

the strange movements evaporate.

And all that’s left to see

is the magnificent crescent moon’s beam

creeping through the lace curtain,

And one slivery shadow,

My own.

Rainforest Wonders

Swing, swing monkey up high

Through the branches under the bright blue sky

With the soft green leaves taking by breath

Leading the way every step by step

Over the pond where the lily pads float

The flamingos stand on one leg and gloat.

A parrot squawks up in a canopy

The rainforest wonders,

Oh how lovely they may be.
